(ANSA) - Rome, October 16 - Health Minister Roberto Speranza
on Wednesday told Radio Capital that the so-called
'super-ticket' - an additional cost for visits to medical
specialist in public healthcare facilities - will be scrapped as
of next September as part of the government's 2020 budget bill.
"As of September 2020, the super-ticket will be finally
abolished", said Speranza.
"The super-ticket is a 10-euro tax that exists in nearly all
regions and we have taken the responsibility of scrapping it -
as of September it won't exist anymore".
Abolishing the super-ticket "will cost 550 million and it is
a social fact that will have an impact on people's lives",
concluded the minister.
